The study examined the first five years of operation of Kansas senate bill 123 (November 2003-November 2008) examining individual-level and system-level outcomes over
time and across community corrections districts and judicial actors. The study also assesses the impact of SB 123 on the work routines of criminal justice system actors, examining changes in sentencing and supervision practices and interactions across agencies following the implementation of SB 123.
Individual-level impacts of SB 123 on recidivism rates are assessed using sentencing and revocation data collected by the Kansas Sentencing Commission for drug possessors sentenced in Kansas between November 1, 2001 and October 31, 2008 (Dataset 1). Propensity score matching was used to compare the revocation and reconviction rates of drug possessors sentenced to SB 123 with the recidivism rates of similar individuals sentenced to regular probation (standard supervision by community corrections or court services) (Dataset 2). Supervision and program participation data provided by the Kansas Department of Corrections were used to assess the use of drug treatment services, education and employment services, and sanctions for individuals sentenced to SB 123 or standard community corrections (Dataset 3). These quantitative data were complemented by a set qualitative data derived from interviews with SB 123-eligible offenders (Dataset 4), community corrections managers, and courtroom actors (judges, prosecutors, public defenders) (Dataset 5).

In order to assess the impacts of state-level sentencing
and corrections policies in the United States implemented between 1975
and 2002 on state incarceration rates during that same time period,
researchers conducted a two-phase study between November 2002 and
March 2004. The first phase of the research involved building a
framework for understanding the types of state-level sentencing and
corrections policies in use between 1975 and 2002. Phase two of the
project consisted of state-level data collection for all 50 states for
all study years, 1975 to 2002. The researchers produced a dataset
containing outcome variables that focus on the change and growth in
state incarceration rates, non-policy control variables that were
found in previous studies to be associated with changes in
incarceration rates, and policy variables regarding sentencing
structure, drug policy, time served requirements, habitual offender
laws (HOL), and mandatory sentences.
